I'm pretty sure it understands what our responses to it are. But it doesn't let us know whether it acknowledged them or not, since it's... whatever the fuck it is. Like you're having a conversation with someone, but the other person isn't responding to anything you're saying and instead just talks over you. Get it?
Everyone is always questioning why the Realm set things up the way it did, but they're all picturing a person who thinks and acts like we do. It's not that. The consciousness is has it barely like ours, and it only really understands people from their nova. Like, the way you'd understand an animal--you can learn all that you can about it, but you'll never actually know what it's like to be it. That's the Realm trying to figure out what to do with us.
I mean, understandable. When I first got here I also wanted the Sparknotes version--still do, since the longer explanations give me headaches.

But I think situations like these are easier to deal with when there's a clear villain figure, and villain figures are simplier to understand when they're person shaped.

Well, the same could be said for all of us.

I'm just not really a fan of repeating myself, it seems. This job requires a lot of it.

[ that's why he's not asking what lux i mean nova is. ]
Can I ask you something? What makes you so sure all this is real? I still don't really get how the Realm is communicating with you.
no subject
It's like that. We just suddenly knew what the Realm wanted us to do. It's not verbally talking to us, but it's communicating with us.
no subject
[ being connected to a realm... like that. ]
And it's one-way, right?

[ a wave of their hand. ]

[ he knows the feeling. he's been on both ends of it ]
I bet it's probably not the listening type.

... Not you. But the rest of us.

And I don't think anyone ever thought of it like that. I know I didn't.

[ he rubs the back of his head. ]
Yeah. It was... hard not to be suspicious of you all, when I first showed up. Sorry about that.
no subject
... well, most of us.

Listen, to be real with you, you're like low on the jerk scale compared to others.

... I didn't realize it was that bad, though.
no subject
I can't really complain, since I'm also a bitch.
